About 400 motorcyclists participated in the Governor’s Flint Hills Freedom ride, which began at the Statehouse and ended up in Wamego Saturday afternoon. Governor Sam Brownback tells KMAN it was a fun way to raise money for some good causes.
An estimated $50,000 was raised for three causes as part of Governor Sam Brownback’s Flint Hills freedom ride Saturday. The event started at the State Capital, with a stop in Alma, and ending in Wamego. In addition to raising money, the Governor says the ride is another effort to draw attention to tourism.
The causes benefiting from the ride included Fort Riley’s Hearts Apart Program, Brothers in Blue Re-entry, and the Native Stone Scenic Byway.
